Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.

The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.

The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.

I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.

It took me about five minutes to see what you meant.

Now I'm going to spend another five minutes to see if I want to do anything about it...

How hard can it be?

Turns out the answer is "extremely difficult". Screw that!

Haven't you figured out whenever you say "How hard can it be" this is always the response. You will be thinking "O this will only take about 5 minutes" and then 5 hours later you are screaming "IT IS EVEN WORSE NOW! I JUST HOPE I CAN GET IT BACK TO WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE!"

Am I the only one who thought her upper left arm was freakishly short? Great picture though, loved the background, was that a representation of Cen?

Now that you mentioned it, it does look like it could be a bit shorter then the other arm. I wouldn't call it short though.
was that a representation of Cen?

In the background? I think it is supposed to be Cen. Strop will correct me if I am wrong.

Guys, nothing wrong with the left arm, that's just foreshortening. You can tell by the way the shadow goes under the elbow, otherwise the definition of the bicep would have been more clearly visible (yes, Strip has some muscle on her lol).

Cen is the dude with the blonde hair in a ponytail, having a running battle of sneaky-peeksies with Strop.

Don't mind me, I was just trying to figure out what I can and can't do with these bbcode tags. I haven't had much luck with resizing images.

Also I would have liked to alter the title of the image but apparently I can't do that either. What I wanted to say was "click the image for a link to the full size image" or something.

You know how the bbcode goes, Strops. It doesn't work optimally for anything besides bold, italics,

quotes
images and links. It's just that. You can't do anything with eeeet.

I do not dare to think of what might be in Cen's present from Sai.

You realize that the running peep battle is eventually going to lead to you two knocking over the precariously placed Christmas tree?

...Dude you should totally draw that. And if I may ask, who's the giggling girl?

Kai will do that with a poorly aimed karate kick any time soon anyway.
Not to mention he has little idea of what Christmas is all about, so he wouldn't care much for the tree anyway.

As for Miss Giggling Girl, that would be Sai.

Nice drawing of a horse in a bikini. I'd love to see some more of them, perhaps also with a human face. You're a really talented drawer.

I kind of wanted not to reach 10k forum posts to be honest. But here I am anyway so.

On that note I saw the recent Tintin adaptation. It was actually quite good and that's coming from a big Tintin fan who watched all the animations and read all the books as a kid. Who is skeptical of all new adaptations of old classics. But yeah, pretty good! I imagine there'll be a sequel out sometime because the story they adapted wasn't finished. And that's just fine by me.

I've always wanted to do a "getting busted at night by a mod" picture.

I don't have time to do a good one, so here's a concept instead:

I know Cen isn't a mod but let's face it: he's more ninja than Strop.

We all think of Cenere as a mod anyway, so it works.
